KILLED BY AN ENRAGED HUSBAND
About midnight Sunday night tragedy
was enacted on the outskirts of DanviIle,
Va, in which young man named Bud
Garner, eighteen years of aga, lost his life.
1t seems that M. B. Farley, who runs the
electric light dynamos for the city, suspected
that Garner was going to see his wife while
he was at work. Ia order to verify his sus-
picions Farley left his place of business just
before midnight and repaired to his own
home. He found Garner in his wifes room.
Farley asked for an officer to accompany
him, in order to keep down any trouble
that might ensue, but the sergeant Of police
would not send one with him. One report
is that when he entered the room he found
Garner in his bed. He told him to lie still,
that he did not come TO have any trouble
but Garner made two attempts to get out OF
bed, and on the second attempt Farley fired
and with fatal effect. Another report is
that Garner made On attack or Farley, and
that the latter fired, killing his assailant in
stantly. Farley refuses to talk. Farley is
native of Petersburg, and has an uncle
and brother living in the town of Suffolk.
Farley walked down town with friend
and surrendered to policeman, who lock.
ed him up. Farley's wife, who is said TO
have been woman of VIGOROUSLY bad char
acter, was arrested on charge of adultery
and locked up Also
